Good Tuesday Morning!
The doctor came in yesterday evening and seemed to think dad's test are looking better! Kidney function improving! Working on reducing the amount of O2 he's on...down to 2-3 liters to go home. Said he may be able to go home in a day or 2.
His blood sugar has been on a roller coaster! Down early yesterday, then way back up last evening to 400! WELL...we finally figured out why! :-) I have been taking him fruit in the hospital for his "snacking"...no sodium, no fat, etc...BUT every evening after eating grapes and bananas we realized they are the reason for the sugar spike in his blood! The nurses etc...have all been nice, etc...but the bowl of fruit has been sitting right there next to dad all last week! Wouldn't you think THEY would have put 2 and 2 together! :-) I think they even checked his blood when he was eating grapes!
After Marcia researched the Internet about fruits...those 2 are the most high in sugar! Even though it's "natural" sugar, they are still not the "right" kind he should/can have. Marcia researched and found berries...raspberry, blackberries, etc...are much lower in sugar and better for him. So that's all he will get from now on! :-)
